As Effective Dart says, when it comes to things like formatting, arguments about which is better are subjective and impossible to resolve. What we do know is that being consistent is objectively helpful. If two pieces of code look different it should be because they are different in some meaningful way. When a bit of code stands out and catches your eye, it should do so for a useful reason.
Fortunately, you can use the dart format tool—from the
command line or in your favorite Dart-savvy IDE—to
perform most of the drudge work of formatting your code.
For example, here’s how to format all the Dart files
under the current directory’s bin, lib, and test directories:
$ dart format bin lib test
However, dart format can’t do it all.
To avoid making changes that might be unsafe, dart format affects only whitespace.
For additional guidance, see the Effective Dart
style guidelines, especially the formatting guidelines.
